1926 - 2012
Condolences
I remember i would take my cat for walks and stop to see Mrs. Miller.
She uesd to call my cat the longest cat she`d ever seen. :)
I was her neightor. The first time I meet her was when I was a baby, me and my family had just moved to North English and when I was young I remember I would run to her houes to visit.
I was sorry tohear about your mother. My mom sent me her obituary from the Cedar Rapids paper. I always had the utmost respect for your mom and truly enjoyed the time I got to spend with your family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Dear Jeff and Anne,
What an amazing and special person Johnette was. She touched the lives of so many in her life. I will cherish my fond memories of Dr. Larry and Jonnye. In November my husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary. Jonnye wrote me a sweet message on Facebook. She said, "Have a beautiful life, I did." My thoughts and prayers are with The Miller Family at this time. She loved you all and was so proud of you!
To the Miller family: I was saddened to learn of your mother's passing. I knew she had been in the hospital after reading a fb post but hoped her condition would improve. I know she will be missed terribly but she will never be forgotten. What a legacy she as left for all of you. Prayers are with you. Shirley
So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was always so friendly and caring. I'm sure she will be missed by all who knew her. I am sure you all have great memories of special times with her. My thoughts are with you.
Dear Jan and family...and all of Johnette's family,
What a very special lady...such a dear and so warm and wonderful to all. I am so sorry for your loss but know that she will never really be gone from your lives. You all have her in your hearts and I believe that she is such a big part of each of you and will continue to guide and lead you daily. May you be blessed with comfort, strength and peace at this time of sadness and difficulty...and always.
Hold each other close. Hugs to each of you.
Love, Joy
After seeing your mother's obit it brought back many memories of going to the doctor. I always felt like kind of an outsider in the lobby when going to the doctor (we didn't go to school in N. English but my grandparents had gone to old Dr. Miller and so the family always went). Despite that feeling of not knowing anyone, Larry and Jonnye always knew us and were welcoming faces. What made me really appreciate them is that they talked and go to know their patients. I remember when I hurt my ankle in HS and had surgery in IC, Larry was there as I was being rolled in. That was something he certainly did not have to do, but he did. Your parents were great people. I am very sorry for your loss.

Miller Family,
To the Miller Family:
I was sad to read of your Mom's passing. I had very fond memories of your mom from years past and feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to get to know her again recently. She was so outgoing and so fun to visit with. It was wonderful to hear about her recent life and about all of her children and grandchildren. I really enjoyed it. My sympathy is with your family.
Sincerely,
Cindy Belland
Dear Jan, Jeff, Joel, Jill, Jay and Families,
To the family of Jonnye Miller,
Please know you have been in our thoughts and prayers throughout her illness and we are so sorry to learn of her death. She was such a vibrant, delightful, loving person!
I had hoped our "girlfriend" trip to see her would become an annual event. I cherish the memory of that special day with her (you too Jan).
We decided to donate to the English Valley Food Bank in her memory. It helps local families through difficult times and helps keep kids healthy---things your parents dedicated their lives to for so many years.
We know that your wonderful memories will sustain you during this difficult time.
Fondly,
Michael, Carolyn, Kathryn, Beth, and Anne Elwood and families

To the Miller Family, I read of your mom/grandma's life in her obituary tonight and couldn't help but think of what a wonderful life she had. She always had a smile at the office and always wanted the best for everyone. Hoping you are enjoying the wonderful memories! Marsha and Jim Reitzler
Hello Miller Family - It was with great sadness to hear of Jonnye's passing. I could not begin to list all of the many fond memories of the neighborhood events and activities that we all shared for many years! You entire family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. But, please take comfort in knowing that Jonnye touched many lives in a way that only she could.
Jan, Jeff, Joel, Jill and Jay
Your Mom was an angel on this earth and I am so honored to have known her.
She will always have a special place in my heart. She was w/ my little brother in the last moments of his life and I have always been grateful for the love and comfort I know she gave him. She was nothing but love and kindness...
A very special lady, indeed ♥
Peace and love to you all-Susie Allison Lundberg
Dear Jan, Jeff, Jill, Joel, and Jay,
Jonnye was such a positive, loving force...in our school, our community, our lives. No one ever left a conversation with her without feeling better about themselves and without knowing that our kids and her kids were the best kids in the world! She is missed. Our thoughts are with you.
Scott and Bonnie Romine
We are deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your loving Mother. She was a true caring friend to everyone she came in contact with. Her wonderful smile and enthusiasm was so contagious! We spent a lot of time in your parent's doctor office with Debbie in her early years and Johnette ALWAYS made Debbie feel so comfortable even though she usually wasn't feeling well. We had a great visit with her at Powells in North English this past year at a visitation. She looked great and as usual was so interested in our family as she was with everyone. She was a kind and loving nurse and great friend to everyone. We know losing her is a great loss to your family. We realize we cannot ease the pain of your loss but we do hope the wonderful memories and few words of sympathy here will help comfort you today. Remember those we cherish will always live on in our memory. Blessings!
I have many fond childhood memories of hanging out a the Miller home jumping on the trampoline, and playing with Jill and Joel. Your mother was like a second mom to all of us in the neighborhood. She always had a smile on her face and I don't think she ever met anyone she did not like. It did not matter rich or poor she always was kind and there to help in whatever way she could. She will be missed by all that knew her. All of you are in my heart and prayers. There will always be a place in my heart for your mom and dad. Take care of each other. Jayne (Garringer) Garcia
Jan, Jeff, Joel, Jill and Jay, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Mother. She was truly the epitome of everything a nurse should be. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.
OOPS! Did not mean to forget you Joel. Sorry.
Jan-Jeff-Jay-Jill
Sorry for your loss. When our family came to North English my parents told me that it was your parents who made them feel welcome.The last time I saw your Mom she reminded me it was Doc Larry who got me to breath when I was born.Boy Scouts-the trampoline in your back yard-playing at your house. Many great memories.
We were blessed to have your family as friends.Thank you.
I found Great aunt Jonnye on facebook,and was shocked. I told her when I saw her picture I cried because she looked like grandma Cummings. She helped me with what little she knew about the Chamber's side of the family. I have been trying to do a family tree for my daughter,and mom Cheryl Conner. I am thankful for the time I got to talk with her.
Jan, Jill, Jeff, Joel, and Jay, So sorry to hear about your Mother's death. I was just visiting with her less than a month ago. I miss the good visits with your Dad and Mom when we all lived in the same neighborhood. Your parents were very good to my kids and to all the Bouslog and Strohman kids growing up. I don't know what I would have done without your Mom and Dad's help when I worked at the nursing home. All the advice and support they always gave me. Those grandkids will miss her greatly, she spoke of them often to me. I am happy to have been apart of your families life. Sherry and Dan Strohman
To the family. With deepest sympathy in the passing of your mother. She was always such a very friendly helpful person.She will be missed by many.
( all these years and I did not know we shared the same birth date).
She always took the time to talk to you and explain anything you wanted to know.
With Deepest respect.
Brenda
Jonnye was a wonderful woman whom I am lucky to have met and spent a short period of time with. Her ability to wrap her love around those she met was amazing and inspirational. Both Chet and I will miss seeing her on our trips to Iowa and will mourn her passing. Her wonderful smile and laugh will forever be ingrained in our memories.
Jan, Jeff, Joel, Jill, Jay and families,
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother. I have so many fond memories of her growing up but what I will remember most is how she reached out to me after the death of my mom. She helped me through a difficult time and made me feel so much better. In recent years she sent me lovely letters letting me know she was thinking about me and also sent me some pictures of my parents and brother that she found while preparing for her move. The picture of my parents is the only one I have of them together so you can imagine how much it means to me. I will cherish that picture and memories of your mom forever. I will miss her and will always regret I didn't see her more often. With great sadness I extend my heartfelt sympathies to your very special family. Sincerely, Anita Montross Koopmans
